Drs. Elsje Pienaar and Nan Kong

Areas of Research

Data science in disease treatment and epidemiology

Projects

• Develop and optimize computational and mathematical models of diseases and their treatment

The Pienaar and Kong labs are recruiting students for joint efforts using data science and artificial intelligence to design and optimize disease treatments. We will incorporate diverse datasets to inform simulations and models of diseases, and use these models to develop biomedical solutions.

Recruitment Needs

Looking for PhD students with strong interests and/or skills in computational and systems biology, systems pharmacology, as well as machine learning, and data mining
